McFarland's letter of August 27 is at hand with the check for $341.25, the contributions of Valley Falls, St. Patrick's Prov., and Compton, besides the sum of $687.57 acknowledged some weeks ago. He received $400 from Father Thomas F. Hendricken from Waterbury . He thanks them for the $1428.82 so far. Again he hopes that they may not suffer a like trouble. :: I-1-b A.L.S. 1p. 12mo.
